About PLAY NOW Education

Calgary’s DANCEPL3Y in-school residency program provider – PLAY NOW Education is Calgary Alberta’s sole provider of the award winning education program DANCEPL3Y! DANCEPL3Y is an education program that “plays” with various elements of dance in an interACTIVE way. Our main objective is to keep students active through dance so our workshops are high-energy and very engaging. DANCEPL3Y classes are designed to connect with the students while also supporting teachers in meeting curriculum expectations for their school district. Students get physically active through simple dances and routines that develop physical literacy, explore movements, and create their own dances and routines to demonstrate their understanding of the Elements of Dance, Fundamental Movement Skills and other curriculum expectations such as interpersonal skills, personal skills, and critical and creative thinking skills. The DP Residency is structured based on the Teaching Dance for Understanding pedagogical model of inquiry-based learning. PLAY NOW Education holds a Master Agreement with the Calgary Board of Education, all of our instructors carry $5 Million Liability Insurance, up-to-date Security Clearances, and WCB accounts.
